Following monitoring of pharmacovigilance data, the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) for Propalin Syrup, 40mg/ml Dogs has been updated:
-
Sympathomimetics may produce very rarely a wide range of effects, most of which mimic the results of excessive stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system such as effects on heart rate (tachycardia) or effects on blood pressure (increased blood pressure), which can induce proteinuria. Dizziness, decrease in appetite, arrythmia, collapse, aggression, hyperactivity (including restlessness), polydipsia, polyuria, ataxia, seizure and hypersensitivity may occur in very rare cases. Liquid diarrhoea/loose stool, emesis and lethargy have been reported rarely.
-
Due to the very low doses to be administered, and to avoid any risk of overdose, the animal must be weighed, and the recommended doses must be respected.
Any veterinary medicinal product which is authorised for marketing in the United Kingdom will have its Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) available on our Product Information Database.
